Shoppers hunting for a high-end smartphone deal just hit the jackpot. Amazon is slashing the price of Google’s flagship Pixel 8 Pro by up to $400. This makes it one of the steepest discounts we’ve seen on the phone since launch.
All these units are unlocked, so you don’t have to worry about sticking to a specific carrier. The 128GB unit in Obsidian specifically is available for just $589, saving you a massive 41% off the original price tag of $999. The Bay and Porcelain variants are priced at $599 instead. So you’ll have to cough up just a few dollars more in case you fancy one of these two colors.
The Pixel 8 Pro is packed with premium features that make the discount especially appealing. Its triple-lens camera system includes a 5x telephoto lens for crisp zoom shots, while the Super Actua display promises bright, vibrant visuals even in direct sunlight. Google’s Tensor G3 chip keeps performance snappy, and the 24-hour battery life means fewer midday charges. The phone comes with Android 14 out-of-the-box but Android 15 is already available to download.
In fact, you can even try out Android 16 ahead of the public release (if you’re brave enough to do so on a shiny new phone.) Moreover, the phone is guaranteed to bag software updates until 2030. So you can rest assured that you won’t have to switch to a newer phone in a hurry. The Pixel 8 Pro holds a 4.3-star rating from nearly 3,000 users, with many praising its camera quality and smooth performance on Amazon.
Budget-friendly payment options sweeten the deal. Shoppers can pay as little as $49.92 a month for 12 months with no interest. The Porcelain model also has another surprise in the form of a $50 discount for Visa holders, dropping the price to $549.
While the sale’s end date isn’t confirmed, the product pages note that hundreds of units have sold in the past month alone. The Pixel 8 Pro’s sustainability features, like eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient design, add another layer of appeal for environmentally conscious buyers.
For anyone considering an upgrade, this deal tackles the Pixel 8 Pro’s biggest hurdle — its steep cost — head-on. With top-tier specs now paired with a mid-range price, Google’s flagship is suddenly a no-brainer for Android fans. Just don’t wait too long. Discounts this deep rarely stick around forever.
